DescriptionForm Charleston. Politics and plots 'sufficient to ruin, if not hang, any man who is guilty of being a native of Britain - especially if born north of the Tweed'. Consequenses of the recent act requiring an oath of loyalty, questions of how best to remove his property. In Charleston, already administered and 'numbers of honest and conscientious men were constrained to swallow it'. Sense of loss, especially over his slaves; fears they will be sold like Brutes that Perish.
